*T*      1KB a llasli of hearrn-bom I    /a   Inspiration   tbat  jolie   came I    V   Into my mind.    I am not a ^ ponater: I am not jrl»en to ¦akIOK Jokea; atill leaa nm I cItcd to Mpantlag otIwr people's jokes or news¬ paper witticisms.
Btit wlaen, witiiont preilmlnarjr ataiy or forethoiii;ht, tiiat Joke came Inl* being In my brain, I knew It waa tba beat Joke I iud erer beard, or rnther, since I bad not spoken it, tbcrefore bad not ret beard It, I It waa better tban anr Joke I hai aret iieard or read.
And It waa atwointelr original. Ko traia of thought had led np to it. no prtrlona coneersatlon bad snggested It; like tllnerra. It sprang full-armed ttom a great bead.
Being mr own Jok>, and sucb an ex- ieaptloaallr good Joke. .1 began to think OTer mr acquaintances with a  law of aeleetlng one worthr to be Ita flnt hearer.
Baaneliamp waa mr dearest friend, b«t tlMD Beancbamp was an English- awi, MUl ao. of course, could not lie •zpaetad to saa the point of a purely ' aarican Joka like mine. Dorothy, wr flaneac waa a perfect dear, but. wall, that prcttr cnrlr bead of bera raallr bad no room In It for anything Imt her frlTotous pleasures and ber lova ot ne.. Dawson was tbe editor et A comic paper, so he waa out of ih* qneation. Parker, mr brother-ln- Uiw. waa a mlolster. nnd a man of raallr good taste In Jokes, but some¬ how, I felt snro mr Joke wns In a Claaa above bim. And so I thought OT*r all mr frienda unlll I came to Farrla.
"taat tbe one," I said to mrself. 'Terria writes such delicate, witty Tsraai. he'll appreciate the full llaror of an asqaislte Joke like this of mine." I had just concluded that I would go at Mica to Kerrls'B house, and give him tb* trea-: I bad Ij store for him, wbea mr sister Rlea-jor entered tbe library, where I was sitting. Now. mr ¦later la an extremalr np-tonlate roung WOBMB. and as the dar was a trifle clotMlr. she waa wearing a trim cloth •kIr', which held Ilself proudlr nloof from all earthlr eontnct, ond a bat, glOTCB, and "loots which I would have bean glad to own.
I waa nnable to resist the temptn- tlon t« trr mr Joke on her, although ¦laanor ia so rerr progressive thnt ¦ha.takes even her own mentality ¦•rlmialr.
' "Slater." said I, with a touch of sc- rerlty In mr tone, "for street wcsr BothIng ia more Improper thau a rainy- day akIrt."
Klaanor'a eres lilnzed. "How Ignor¬ ant you arel" she exclaimed. "Eevry- hody wears them, and fhey nre entire. ly correct. I have no palteuce wllh a woman wbo would drng a clolh trni' ¦loag a muddy sidewalk, or lire her¬ aelf out trring to hold It up. Nrlihcr ha?* I anr patience with a mnn ivho can approve of such nu old-fnshloned, mlataken notlou." And with n pro- SraaalTe slam of tbe street door, sbe waa gone.
I chuckled sofily to myself over the hamor-bliBdneu of women, and with a eertalnty of a more successful ex- perlpent, I betook mrself to Ferrls's bouie,
"rerria, old man," said I, without praauble, "I've made a Joke, aud. as It'a the best Joke ever made, I'm go¬ ing to teli It to rou flrst of nnrbody." "Do," said Ferris, looking Intelligent, ¦a he often does.
"Well," said I. slowly and very sob¬ erly. "It's a fashion note, you kuow, n btirleaqne fashion uote, nnd It's this: Por street wear nothing Is more im¬ proper tban a rainy-day skirt." "Oo on," said Kerrls. "Go on?" I cried. "There's nothinj aiate: that'a all there la to It."
"Bnt ron aald It was a Joke." snid Ferris, the Intelligent look dying out Ot his face.
"It ia a joke! Ob, don't you sec the point r*
"There Isn't any point," snid KorrU. calmly, "and. besides. It Isn't trutv Lota of thinga are fnr more impro|ier. t«ok at tbe ladles'  evening-dress of
to-dar "
"Bvenlng-dress Isn't woru In the d%y-tiDie." I ssld, rflllngly. snd with great diagnat at Ferris's stupidity, I wsat awar.
Aa I walked down the street I uict Daiar Dar, and. with a sudden do- taraihiation to tell that Joke to every ptraaa I sbould see until somel.ody appreciated it, I turned, and wnlked br aer aide.
"Oood momlng. Miss Day." I said. and glanced aeverely at her smart raiayHlay skirt. "Pon't you know th.it for street wear nothing la more Im¬ proper than a rainy-dsy skirt? it's n joke," I adhed hawtlly. fur I saw nu cxpreaaluu of mortal olfruHe Ht.'uliui; over  her  pretly.   babyiah   taro.
"Ob. It'a a Joker' she exriaimrd. her face clearing, snd ker dimples aiiring- lag into life. "Aod what a good one! Oh, Mr. Abliott, you are so clever! I Jnat love your Joki-e. Do tell uie an¬ other. Bnt wait unlil 1 learn ihls one. ¦o that I can quote it corrroii.r. -it laat c^nact to wear a rainy day suit la Iba rala.' Ob, that is so fuuny! Wbat! are yoa going In.hereT uh. guod ¦Bomlng."
I atlBed my laughter aud strolled Iato the club. Tbe flrst one I saw waa old Holllste'. a Jolly, genial man, qnlte capable of apprrciallng a Joke, onleea. Indeed, he hsd fsllen a victim to the epidemic ot stupidity that aeemed to be makloj iiM-if knowu everywhere.
"Holiister. oid boy." said 1. "hrrvs the latest: 'For sireet »-«ai nnihiii!; la more Jg^^ar titan i. rainy day aklrt.'^Jj^^Hir'

I turned wearily away, and began to wonder wbether mr Joke wns real¬ lr no good, or whether It was simply too subtle for any one to wbom I had aa yet anbmitted It. On my way home I met Smith. Now, Smith Is a frenk nnd a crank, imdlsome people think he's almost an Idiot, but In sheer despair I told thejoke to him.
"Hnshf he said, lifting a warning foreflnger nnd shsking It In my fnce— "hush! Bresthe It not nloud, the wild winds roost not henr It. It's grent. old mnn. It's Bne, but you shouldn't have told It, even to me, until you'd sold It. Here's my rule for Jokes: "Always sell 'em
Before you tell 'em;
For if you teli 'em
Before you reil 'em.
To whom you tell 'em
Will run and «ell 'cm." I left Smith, Inughing at his funny, cnutlous notions, but gljid that I had nt last found one who really npprecl- ated the greatness of my Joko, and by the peculinr twinkle lu his eye I knew thnt he had really done so.
Tbat evening I went over to Doro¬ thy's, ns usual. On the verandn sat a merry crowd of youut; people, and, as I arrived, Dorothy cnlled out:
"Oh, Jnck, Is thst you? Come here, quick; I wan't to tell you the best Joke you ever heard. It's the very latest. Jlr. Harper Just told It to me, and Mr. Ferris told It to hiui. Uh. Mr. Ferris is so clever. Listen; For rainy-day wear, nothing Is more Im¬ proper than a short skirt. Isn't tbat funny? Why, bow blank you look! I don't believe you sec the point at all. Nothing Is more Improper. See? Wouldn't It be? I think "the- whole Joke Is slightly Improper, but It's so good that I can't help telling it."
I managed to manufacture a hearty laugh for the occasion, but I registered n secret resolve thnt hereafter I would be guided by Smith's rule for Jokes.— Carolyn Wells, In the Century Mnga- slnc.

The meteorite which fell nt Porto Alegre, Brazil, has now been inonK- tired, aod the results are most sstou- Ishing. It measures B.tyslx feet from the base and is elghty-llvc feet high.

A marked rise In ihe level of the Dead Sea has been noted. A bioiid lagoon has been formed on the uurth side of tbe Jordnn-dalt Tbe wuter does not sink In summer, nnd It Is surmised that the whol-} bottom of tbe Dead Sea has been raised by vol¬ canic action.
Experiments have been cnrrlcd o\a In England to nsoertnin the amount of corrosion thut tnkes place upou tTl»~. pistes of a ship under varying cuj- ditlons regnrding water, i>'eathc.~, etc. Iron and steel plates were im- merset! In sea w«te', river wafer, nnd also exposed to the weather. Imt very Ilttle difference was found to occur in the relative corrosion of Ihe two metsls. When an addition o' three per cent, of nickel wns intro¬ duced Into tbe steel tbe rate of oxl- datlou dImlLlshed by nbout twenty- Ihree per cent., and when the Kteel wns mixed with twenty-alx per wuf. of nickel Ihe loss oy oxidnliun wns (qual to nliout tbiity three per ceut. of that of wrought Ir.n.
The phofogrnphins of clouds hns reoontiy become a recoguizod lirniii'li of prnetieal meteorology. It also af¬ fords beautiful plvtu.es for tbo cnl- lections of nmateur photographers. Tbe French astronomer. M. Antonladl. of the Juvisi observatory, who has hart. much exi>erieuce lu rioud pliotograpliy.) says that nil kiud of cameras. Inrg nnd smnll. mounted and uumouuted.i can be employed for the purpose. Iiuil considerable practice Is required to de j termlne the proper time of exposure. In order to quench the bli\e of tbe sky nnd bring out the contrast between the clouds nnd their background, yel¬ low screens, preferably composed of Ihin cells, containing a ohemioal solu¬ tion, nre employed. Exposures vary from a email fraction up to onc-tlilrd of n second.
There wns n serious acrlilent on the Great Northern Hallway, of Kuglnuil. In Ihe yenr 1805. caused by a sleel rnll breaking Inlo seventeen pieces. Tlii' esse was so iieculiar ihat the Hoard of Trade appointed a committee to Inves¬ tigate tbe cause of the breaknge. .Af¬ ter more than four years' conslilrrn- liou the committee re|Hirti'd that tin- particular rali iu question had severnl nbnurnial charniterlstlcs. tlie pivclse nature of which tbey could not deter¬ mine, but their iuvestigntlou led to some discoveries of si'lentille and prnc Ileal value. Dne of these dlseoviTles is Ihe astouishlug otleot of a cinrk in the u|i|H'r surfnce of a rali. It was found liy ex|M'riuieut thul a rail nicked with n rhisel f. a ilcplb of l.Oliii of an inch liroke under a weight of x'sxo pouuds dropped from a ht-lght of twelve feet, while the same rail, not nicked, dii'. not lirenk when snhjeried to a fall of a ton weight from a height of twenty feet.

If a trained  philologist  could  have been with our army from the occupa¬ tion uutil now he would have bad nn opportunity    to ob.serve    the     entire growth of n liiiguage. or at least n dia¬ lect, fro',.   :  t.iing to stupendous pro¬ portion.     He   would   also   be   able   to speak a polyglot liilgo born iu August. 18'JN,  and  now  almost  at   maturity.
The soldier-talk, or "pidgin." in use in tlie Phlliiiplnes must be classed by itself, as It Is neither English uor Spanish nor a mere mixture of the two. In some cases a nucleus wns furnished hy veterans who bnd serveil tn the Southwest and knew a little Spnnisb, but tbis wns of little serv¬ ice in the interior, where Ihe nntives do not speak Spanish. So, Just ns our first ancestors did. the soldier who had money to spend and the native wlio hnd things to sell slowly nnd painful¬ ly devised a vehicle for the exchnnge of thought, a rnmsbnckle nffnir. to be sure, with many stoppages, but still serviceable. At the present day. I hear it claimed, it Is possible to mnke love with It.
Probnbly the first thing that soldiers nsked the nntives for wns wnter. Their Red Cross hnndbooks tol.l them lo say "agun." nnd agun did \ery well nround Manila. Hut as the lines e.v¬ tended into the provinces we had to lenrn other words, nnd In Pampnnga we snid "tuhlg." while In Pangnsiuan we say "dunum." A new word is tnking root, nnd in the course of time will prevail—"wale" " ov "wntty." Af¬ ter water, food was of next import¬ ance, and for lack of other words the Chinese-English "chow-chow" reigns supreme. From tbe snme langungc comes the universal word for washing, "wnshee-wnshee." Onr English "got" .«rTves to express nil applications ot to hnvc and to bo; thus, "got San Fer- nnndo" means to be in San Fernando, and "no got Bspnnol" means "I do not understand .Spanish." "Matrimony." lielng very similar in Spanish, serves for all phases of the marital condition. Thus tlic stateof marriage.the husband or wife, the wedding, are all expressed by "matrimony," as n noun nnd tlie net of mnrrying by the same word ns n verb. Couversntion aloug this line, Iiowever. so far as soldiers ore con¬ cerned. Is more tlieo''eticnl than prac¬ tlcnl.
Two very remarknble words of the vernacular are "upshecomes" nml "Jawbone." The first of ihese it-im nilopted by natives from benring the cry of the chucS-aluck man. ".\ll down—up she comes!" and is the gen¬ eric nnd universal name of every kind of gambling, ".lawlionc" also orlgin- nted in gambling or betting without money, but Ims exteiideil until it Is used li.v every one for every kind of credit or debr. And tlie amenities of a "Jawbone" liusiness nre very nicely conducted  between pny dnys.
The average soldier can order nn extensive dinner at a restaurant by using three or four Inngunges. Tiius hc nsks for "babuy" (pig. Pnngaslnni. or "mnnuk" (cliickeui; but If his de¬ sire extends to beef or eggs he resorts to Spnnlsh. These are the staplcs-if lie shouhi rc<|uli'c nnything else, he wonld proliably have to draw a picture of it. Wlicii lie has flnlshed he nsks. "(Juanto vule';" nnd pays so mnny "pesos." "pesetas" or "centa vos." Tlic Inst mentioned oin is copper or iron nnd In this province Is cnlled "sake bnlug."
"Boom-boom Is n word eoinmonly heard in tills language nnd is npiillcd to every nppurtennnce of bnttle—rifles, cnnnon. cnrtrldge. pistol, or to the bnt tie Itself, altliough "comlinte" is more commonly used for the Inst. Combate also means a flght. personal or even a quarrel. ".Mannk-combate" is n chicken flght.
"Vamoose" is probably more used than any otlier word. It means to go or to come, nml. transitively, to bring, take, remove, steal or carry. Tims a conversntliin between a soldier nnd a native might ruu ns follows:

Manila.-The following is Agulnal¬ do's address to tlie Klllpluo people:
"I lielieve I am not In error In pre¬ suming that the unhappy fate to which luy .idverse fortune bas led tne Is not a surprise to those who have Im-cu famiUur with the progress of tbe war. Tbv lessuns taught with a full mesn- ing, aud which have recently come to my knowledge, suggest witb Irresist¬ ible force thnt n complete termlnntton of hostilities aud lasting peace are not only desirable, but absolutely es¬ sential to the welfare of the Philip¬ pine  Islands,
"The FHipinoa have uever lieen dls- mn.ved at tiielr weakness, nor have they fnlicrcd iu following the path pointed out by their fortitude and cunrage. The time hss come, how¬ ever, in which they flnd their ad¬ vance along Ihls path to lie Imjiedcd by mi irresistible force which, while ii restrains them, yet enlightens their niinils and opens to them another course, iiresenting them the oause of pence. This cnnse bas lieen Joyfully cmliiuced by the majority of my fel- low-eounlrynien. who bnve already united uround the glorious sovereign iiniiiicr of  the  United Stntea.
"In this banner they repose their trust, nnd believe thnt uuder Its pro¬ tection the Filipino people will attain all those promiaed liberties which Ibey lire beginuiug tu enjoy. The cuuutry has declared unmlstajtably lu fnv.ir of peace So be it There has beeu enough blood, enough tears, anil enough ilcsoiatlon This wish cannot be Ignored liy the men still in arms If they are niilninieil by a desire to serve our uo- lile iienple, which has Ihus clearly inmiifcsted Ils will. So do I respect this will, nnw Hint It is knowu to me.
"After mnture dellberBtlon, I reso¬ lutely proclaim to fhe world that 1 cnnuot refuse to heed the voice of a people longing for peace nor the lam¬ entations of tboUKuuds uf families yenrning to see their dear ones enjoy¬ ing the lllierly and the promised gen- irosliy of the grent American Nation.
"By iicknnwledglug and accepting till' siivei'clgnly uf the Uulted States ilirnuglinui the Philippine archipelago, ns I now do. and without nny reservn- llon whatsoever, I ladleve that I nni serving thee, my beloved country. .May   hnppineSH  be  thine."

Hare «« ase kow trrrilicd thejr were, snppoeing tbey kad seen a spirit. All these retereneea to tka great diflicultv with which tke diedples •cccpted the fact o( the resurraetioB el Jesus are given to atreoftken ottr foitk in tbe fact. There was no colhiaion aaong the disciples to show tbat Jeans waa aliva, but they thcraielvee were coBvineed i^ninst their wili.% against tkeir |mja- dices, against their exnectations. Be tksa ^ntlv reproved them By asking wky tk«> were troubled snd why they peraltlta tnxious reasonings ana qneetinniaaa ta irisc in tueir minds. "Shesrad unto tBen." The wounds were probably all perfetUv. healed, but tho sears reoiained. "Hie handa aud Hii side." Imha earn kaada and feet. This leavea no donbt tkat Jeana nas naile<l to the cross and not tied ts mauy werv. Jeeus told them to f Him (Luke 24: 3»). whieh they did. "Ulsd," They were terfiftad at (irst, but when they knew Him i glad. There is great ioT ia the tion for every one. "When tbey eaw," A sight of Christ will gladden tke heart ot t disciple st any time. It was at tkk tkna that He gatx to them another piool tiMt He was the same Jesus whom tkey kad knuwn. Hc called for food (Luke M: «1— 13) und did cat before them. Afterward tlic njiuatlcs called attention to what aow occurred as a proof of their Lord's rnsiir- rection. Acts 10: 41. He ate before tken, hnt because He hsd need of food for tka body, but because they had need of taitk for the aoul. There is a great myaten in tnnnection with Christ's resurrectiOB Dodv. There arc several opinions conoeraiM n- I. Thst after Uis resurrection Ha kad a spiritual body, similar to what ouf bodlea will be after our resurrection, t. That He had a body the some in substaaea aa before the crucifixion, but endowed with new properties and powera. 3.

'23. "Yc remit," etc. See Revised Ver¬ sion. Comimrc llatt. 10: 10. One tUag is certain, (lod only can forgive atna; to declare nnything else would be blasphe¬ mous. But Christ gavo power and aoMO^ itv to the anostles in the eetablishiu of Ilis cliurch tliat has not been transmttea to the church. Since the church coaM Bot 111- organised or tha full gospel preached till nttcr lllu death and resnrrsetioa of Jesus, He must havo some authoritatlva representatives on earth tn whom, ttfldar the guidiince of the Holy Hpirit, could ha committed the decision of nil queationa nnd interviretatioiis that would neewssrily arise. Tiicy who believed ou tbe Boa of (lott, ill consequence of the preaching oi the apostles, htd their sins remitted: aad tlicy wlin would not believe were declared to lie under cnnilcmnatioo. •24. "Thomas." This was His Hebrew nume, nnd Didyraus His Oreek name: both meant "a twin," "Was not with tlicm." This was one ot the priadMl enuses of the unbelief ot this apoetie. Ha sliould have been at his post with tha rest, then be would nave seen and hfard Jesus, and would have received tlie maaa- ingH and encouragement that the othera received.
